Comment Re:Time to start taking the Cloud seriously (Score 0) 349

I do desktop and software support, let me give you my real world reactions...

Costs per CPU hour have dropped.
We know! We haven't upgraded our computers since 2006, and we're still running everything under Windows XP.

Internet access is incredibly pervasive.
Why can't I connect to the server to fix it? Oh. You firewalled off all internet access.

The "post-PC" era of tablets and smart phones are producing a huge demand for cloud-based storage and services.
Tablets? We won't even get our employees cellphones!

All I see with the cloud is having your software/data on servers no one is willing to be responsible for.

Wow, you're going to have a nervous breakdown when our finance system hits the wall.

We needed about a trillion dollars in cuts, got 3 billion.

3 billion off of the hundreds of billions in NEW spending.

A day will come, pretty soon now, where no one will lend us any more money.

If it makes you feel better, you can blame the Tea Party for that too.

The number have been trending down, which is heartening. And if you go to the census, you can have them broken down by state.

But without a comprehensive list of sex ed programs by area, I don't think you'd be able to get the information you're looking for.

I'm completely pro-choice. I just find the amounts of abortions to be incredible, and a red flag. That either we're not understanding something important, or we see it and refuse to believe it.

I know what you mean. I didn't believe it at first either.

Here's a list of births by year in the US: http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0005067.html

Abortions by year:

Looks like I was a little off. The numbers seem to be a closer to 1 out of 4 than 1 out of 3. Which is better, but still a staggering amount.

I guess I should have kept my research links from the first time I did this.
